Helicopter in San Antonio
lands on mattresses
SAN ANTONIO - Several mattresses
piled on the ground have helped a medical helicopter with damaged gear make a
safe landing in South Texas.
Officials with PHI Air Medical
say the patient and three crew members were uninjured in the emergency landing
at San Antonio International Airport.
PHI spokesman Brad Deutser says
the helicopter early Sunday clipped a cellphone tower and lost one of its skids.
The pilot then asked airport tower controllers for help in making a balanced
landing.
Firefighters grabbed several
mattresses from their living area. Capt. Kevin Campbell says the helicopter
landed on top of the mattresses, which were held steady by weights.
